This whimsey is an inspired copy of a earlier whimsey. The whimsey including the turned Walnut locking stopper stands 11 inches. It is housed inside what appears to be an ink bottle. A woman trapeze performer is sitting a swing wearing a green glittery leotard and shoes. The makers information: Steve Moseley, St. Louis and 2010 is written on Basswood strips glued to the central shaft.
